“Everyone at Elba Rehabilitation and Wellness went above and beyond to help us with the transition of placing our loved one there. Emily was so helpful and answered all the questions we had. The nurses and CNA’s on hall 4 are all very polite and are taking great care of our loved one! Ms. Lucy at the front desk is always so welcoming every time we go visit!”

★★★★★Shane Hartley · 2026-06-04 · via Google
“I want to say it I am very well pleased with the great service of everyone there that puts effort in there day to care for the patients. My father Vernon Hartley is a resident there and he really enjoys it and I am grateful for everything that is done for him and want to give a special thanks to Savannah Holems for taking the pictures she does amd posting them.”

★★★★★Mark Kelley · 2026-07-08 · via Google
“I would like to say Elba Rehab and Wellness is the best place my mother could go for rehab..everyone treats her like she is a special guest instead of a patient, they really make her work hard, but kinda spoil her too...mama is not easy to get along with, but she is happy here so far.. Mrs. Emily Whitehurst is a very caring person also, she don't mind answering your questions and keeping you up…”
